Jeju Island Family Resort Holiday

Stay in the Jungmun resort area for the Teddy Bear Museum, aquarium, beaches and tea fields, with an easygoing pace.

Based at a resort hotel in the Jungmun Tourist Complex, you'll drive yourself around each day, with two or three kid-friendly stops and half a day to rest. In the south, see the waterfalls and columnar joints. In the west, visit Camellia Hill and Hallim Park. In the east, go to the Aqua Planet aquarium and Seongeup Folk Village, and play in the water at Hyeopjae Beach. Each day's drive is kept to about 1 hour one way, leaving time for the hotel pool and naps. Suited to families with children from toddlers to primary school age.

The beaches are open in July and August but crowded, so book rooms and rent child car seats in advance.
